How to use RAID array as storage

[Jerome Haynes]

Hi guys,

Probably a very stupid question but this is coming from using esxi. So I've got proxmox installed on a 250GB HDD (Separate from the RAID array) I've also got a 5TB RAID array running on a Adaptec 6805E controller. Promox has installed fine and network and everything is working fine. However, how do I use the storage from the RAID array?

I've attached a screenshot of what it says (Unknown) and I've tried the initialise disk with GPT option. I'm assuming this needs a driver, where do I get this driver from? I'm guessing I need to create a LVM partition on it? I see no option to do this or create storage from within Proxmox, does this need to be done via cli?

Kind Regards,
Jerome Haynes

Sorry no screenshot there. But when you have an Raidstorage (real HWraid) this is detected from every OS. So you can go to CMD, and format the raid with ext4 or an storageformat: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Storage On singleserver with hwraid, lvm-thin is a very good and fast option.
